Ah, so it was actually the second goal and Chapman? The 90s broke me but in a good way. |

Sansom was definitely over on the left as Leeds first (Deane?) came from an almighty howler between him and Stejskal. |

I think you're onto something there Sydney. Fill one end of the ground with Chel*** and Leeds fans and the other with fans from the other 90 clubs . You could even give it a catchy name like "cùnts corner" |

You'd think that but it looks a lot like there's players there who are going "ah well fùck it, I'm on a 3 year deal and this fella will be down the road before the next international break" |

I think one of those former Soviet republics of uranium miners and donkey wallopers would put on a better show. Wales aren't great either. #baddum-tss |

Maybe the owners have decided to stop interjecting themselves into football matters like clowns in a minefield? Personally, I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts because if QPR have taught me anything, it won't... [Post edited 5 Oct 14:32]

Give "How to Win the Premier League: The Inside Story of Football’s Data Revolution" by Ian Graham a go. If you can ignore the obvious Liverpool-centricity, it does a good job explaining the statistical and data analysis bits in layman's terms. One interesting insight from reading it was that when it comes to signing a player, the data, video and traditional "football" analysts (scouts) might all be right or they might all be wrong. He talks about Sadio Mane being a target for them when at Southampton and being off the charts in terms of his stats but the football guys were saying "don't sign him, he's a bad influence in the dressing room, unprofessional trainer, etc. They took a gamble and apparently he's the most humble, friendly chap you could meet. https://amzn.eu/d/6L55bwQ |

That 2011/12 team had something more valuable than consistency - they could post points when you least expected it. Completely agree Barnsley and Doncaster were poor from is but they would be classic QPR banana-skins any other season. Derby and Reading away were funny unless you were supporting either of them. Leicester at home and Portsmouth away - they're all fixtures any other QPR team in the last 30 years loses. |

That's great going. One of my mates calves seized up about mile 8 so they stayed together and clocked 2.58. I think this year's men's winner ran it in 1.06 or something similarly ricockulous. |

I was there with a Rangers flag and a loud missus where the course turns in to Argyle road, just the other side of the bridge E17's describing. Three mates of mine ran it and was great to hear a lot of "U Rrs" around the course. I reckon if I start training now I'll be good for under 3 hours next year. |

As in Pat Van Den Hauwe? For a professional footballer and supposed hard-man I'd say he's the easiest footballer I've ever seen wound up by us. Remember him getting punchy punchy against us when playing for Everton until Stainrod put him back in his box. |

I think he was a good signing and he'll add some needed experience in the middle but he looked miles off it when he came off the bench against stoke. |

Isak had a decent shot on target but that was while Ronnie was otherwise occupied making sure his hairband was at the sexiest angle possible. Since then he's nutmegged the prodigy kid and Cruyff-turned the Italian lad, pausing only to teabag his supine form |

At the time of the tackle i thought "he's giving himself a bit of time to think" which is great reffing as it's not unusual to see a tackle like that, a player/crowd reaction and a card appearing like it's spring-loaded. Didn't realise he usually refs Premier fixtures though so maybe he was thinking "I'll just leave that one for VAR to fùck up" only to realise the voices in his head had gone silent. Great report. |
